Chapter 507: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Fifty Seven)

Liang Yu rubbed her red palms, glanced at the scrolls on the bookshelf, and decided to take a rest today. She would not copy the scrolls because her hands were sore and would copy them tomorrow.

The emperor is a reasonable man. At most, he would punish her by making her copy scriptures and put her under house arrest. But it's different for the emperor's brother. Hehe, he was caught whipping a palace maid. If she doesn't slap him in the face, how can she avenge him for tearing up her rare books a few days ago?

He also planned to put drugs in the meals of General Ji's two adopted sons. Although he didn't know what the medicine was, Liang Yu was probably not a good person, so it was better not to let his third brother harm others.

Xiao Fu came in with a plate of snacks.

"Princess, you're impulsive again. Now that the Third Prince is being punished, won't Concubine Ji be jealous of you?"

Liang Yu moved to Feixing Palace when she was six years old. She thought Aunt Fu was worried that Mother would embarrass the palace servants of Feixing Palace, so she comforted her, "I am her biological daughter after all, and she still has some consideration for family affection. Aunt Fu, don't worry, Mother won't embarrass you. Otherwise, I will embarrass my third brother. Besides, she has leverage over you, so she won't dare harm you."

Xiao Fu was not at ease. She smiled bitterly. She did not mean to tell the story of the Third Prince. After all, Concubine Ji did everything behind her back and did not let her do the baby swap. She discovered it herself. She had been pretending to be ignorant in front of Concubine Ji so that she could survive.

The Second Princess was Xiao Fu's own way out, but she got drunk during a festival and when she woke up she discovered that she had told the Second Princess a huge secret. Could it be that she really couldn't keep the secret to herself?

"Princess, neither you nor I know anything. The Queen has no evidence against him. You cannot be complacent. You must remember that the Third Prince is your biological brother!" Liang Yu knew that Xiao Fu was afraid that her mother would get angry and disregard family affection.

"Yeah, I see. By the way, where did that fake eunuch who was always by Mother's side go?"

"Fake eunuch?"

"She's the one who occasionally appears in Caiwei Palace as a palace maid."

Xiaofu suddenly realized that the princess was talking about Xiaolan.

"I don't know either. After being transferred to your side, your Majesty's movements have become unknown."

Liang Yu nodded, didn't ask any further questions, and let Xiaofu leave first.

Before leaving, Xiao Fu whispered, "She is the young envoy of the Wu Clan. After the death of the eldest princess, if the Wu Clan does not choose a new young master, she is qualified to inherit the position of clan leader. She may have returned to Ji State to take over the Wu Clan."

Alone in her room, Liang Yu pondered. Unexpectedly, this seemingly unintelligent, silent, and honest maid was actually quite sharp-eyed and observant, adept at reading people's expressions. Liang Yu warned herself to be cautious in her words and actions. Although she acted bold and innocent, appearing somewhat foolish, she actually knew what she couldn't do and what she couldn't step into.

Liang Yu had indeed gone prepared. She had arranged for someone to tip her off in advance, wanting to teach her fake brother a lesson. Of course, she also couldn't stand his brutality. He was only eleven years old, and he was already whipping palace maids. He didn't hit the old maids or the eunuchs, but only the young and beautiful palace maids. Who could tolerate this? Liang Yu couldn't tolerate it, and she insisted on punishing him.

But she hadn't expected her father to act so quickly. She had only gone to complain, and he had ordered an investigation. By the time her mother and brother were waiting outside the palace for summons, he had even learned that her third brother had commissioned custom torture instruments. The palace truly had many spies. Liang Yu even wondered if her father had learned of this any later, he would have used the instruments on her brother to teach this wicked son a lesson.

Liang Yu thought of Xiaolan, who had left. Did she really return to Ji State to take charge of the Wu Clan? Just how mysterious was the Wu Clan?

When Liang Yu knew that her mother was a witch, she didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just superstition. However, the older she got, the more she realized that witchcraft seemed to really exist in this world. Her mother's sister, the eldest princess of Ji State, died from the backlash of witchcraft. Over the years, her mother hated Queen Cui the most, believing that Queen Cui and the prince were blocking their way and wanted to use witchcraft to harm them.

Unfortunately, the entire palace had been thoroughly searched by Emperor Liang, and my mother had destroyed the tools long ago. She could not obtain the personal belongings and blood of Empress Cui and the Crown Prince, and could not perform any witchcraft.

Unable to do anything bad, his mind gradually became suppressed and distorted. Liang Yu attributed his third brother's stupidity and badness to his mother, Concubine Ji Wei.
